Hi,
I’m trying to use your GitHub Actions workflows to build and deploy a cloud deployable package for a Unified Development Environment in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations.
In my build job, I configured the workflow using your actions (see placeholder below):
jobs:
build:
name: Build Solution
runs-on: windows-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v4.1.1
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- name: Read settings.json
uses: fscpscollaborative/fscps.gh/ReadSettings@v2.1
- name: Setup MSBuild
uses: microsoft/setup-msbuild@v2
- name: Setup NuGet
uses: nuget/setup-nuget@v2.0.0
with:
nuget-version: 5.10.x
- name: Build FSC Solution
uses: fscpscollaborative/fscps.gh/RunPipeline@v2.1
id: runpipeline
with:
version: latest
settingsJson: ${{ env.Settings }}
- name: Add logs to job summary
if: ${{ !cancelled() }}
run: |
if (![string]::IsNullOrEmpty("${{ env.ARTIFACTS_PATH }}")) {
$logFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path "${{ env.ARTIFACTS_PATH }}\Logs" -Recurse -Filter *.log
$summary = "# Logs `n`n"
if ($logFiles) {
foreach ($logFile in $logFiles) {
$content = Get-Content -Path $logFile.FullName
$summary += "## $($logFile.Name) `n"
foreach ($line in $content) {
# if the line consists only of = or - characters
# (which would be interpreted as a setext heading
# (https://github.github.com/gfm/#setext-headings)),
# add a new line before it
if ($line -match "^[=-]+$") {
$summary += "`n$line`n"
} else {
$summary += $line + "`n"
}
}
}
}
$summary >> $env:GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
}
- name: Publish artifacts
if: ${{ !cancelled() }}
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
name: DeployablePackage
path: output/CloudDeployablePackage_*
The build itself completes successfully, but at the end of the RunPipeline step I consistently get the following error: Error: Unexpected error when running action (::Error::The property 'PACKAGE_NAME' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists.)

From the logs, the compilation and cloud package generation appear to complete correctly. However, it seems that the workflow expects a variable called PACKAGE_NAME, but this variable is not available after the solution build finishes.
My parameter JSON file looks like this:
{

"packageName": "DEM021",
"models": "DEM021",
"sourceFolder": "Metadata",
"metadataPath": "Metadata",
"buildVersion": "10.0.47",

"createCloudPackage": true,
"createRegularPackage": false,
"deploymentScheduler": false,
"deploymentType": "cloud",
"buildPath": "Projects/AzureBuild/DEM021CopilotAgent"
}
Additional note:
If I change the parameters to create a regular package instead (i.e. enabling createRegularPackage and disabling createCloudPackage), the build succeeds and the workflow completes without errors.
However, I specifically need the action to create a cloud deployable package, because it must be deployed to a Unified Development Environment.
Is there something missing or incorrectly configured in my parameters or workflow that would explain why PACKAGE_NAME is not set when createCloudPackage is enabled?
Thanks in advance for your help.
